Sharing screen with examiner during proctoring test with WGU. - Gijaodola - 08-20-2023
Please can anyone tell if you have to share your screen with the proctor examiner during your test or how does that process work. Thank you.

Yes, generally speaking, the proctoring software for the live proctors will capture your screen. If you have "embarrassing" bookmarks that you don't want the proctor to see, or even if you don't, it's often recommended to create a new profile on your computer just for the proctoring process.

or you could go the other way and right before the exam change your screen's wallpaper to bestiality or old people gay porn ....
of course some of us don't have to change it

@Gijaodola - You seem to be stuck on deciding between CBE programs at WGU and UMPI, please fill in the template and addendum here as we don't know what your educational journey is, it seems you're in the 'asking questions' phase and not yet decided/thinking of starting with your credits.

The software used for exams is Zoom. I login as a guest on my laptop so no one can see anything I have going on. It also keeps them out of my person files. Most of my software and apps aren't accessible to the guest account so it's less to worry about.
